Another reason why people go to clubs is to look for one-night stands. However, that only works for good-looking super-charming guys; the rest are typically left to rot in the dust, as far as picking up girls is concerned. For girls, it's different; pretty much any girl can go to a club and find sex. In other words, it's the mating season on Animal Planet (a TV channel) at its worst. But since clubs and bars are one of the few ways for people to find a sex partner, everybody just keeps going back there weekend after weekend, thinking they can pick up someone there.
I'm nothing like that when it comes to finding sex partners. I well aware of how repulsive I look, so I don't delude myself into thinking I can find someone at a club. I only to there to get drunk, dance, and release stress from the grueling work week. Not that the clubs are relaxing by any means, but the large amounts of alcohol and the loud music release the stress built up during the week. And on a rare occasion, I can find a girl to dance with, even if just for a few minutes. But when my goal is to find sex, I go to escorts, not clubs.
